U-17 Germany Women win in Israel; Snow Shovelers needed in Frauen Fussball and other random Women's Soccer news of the week

Anyone have a shovel?
Germany is now seeking snow removal experts. Faced with yet another weekend of cancellations in the Frauen Bundesliga, some clubs are scrambling in finding/providing usable playing fields. FCR 2001 Duisburg is calling for fans to assist them in shoveling. All those who help receive a free ticket to the match as well as a complimentary hot drink.

As for National Team news, Germany's youth continue to impress. Defeating the U-19 Israel squad twice this week (4-1; 5-0), the U-17 squad continues to have a successful year. After scoring twice on Tuesday, Fabienne Dongus scored three more just two days later. Germany's U-17 roster includes many Bundesliga 2 players as well as those who play in the top Bundesliga league. At 16 years of age, Elisabeth Scherzberg, not only represents the strong U-17 team, but top flight Saarbrucken as well. Scherzberg has found minutes off the bench in nearly every match played this year in the Bundesliga.

Canada remains unbeaten in their last 9 matches after they tied 3rd ranked Brazil on Wednesday. Having already advanced to Sunday's final, Canadian coach Carolina Morace was able to work with a younger line-up while altering her formation against Brazil. Due to the "unimportance" of the match, fans will certainly be analyzing and breaking down Sunday's final rematch. 

Mexico will look to avenge a 3-1 defeat against the Netherlands in the third place match. Mexico must be disappointied with their performance in this tournament. After qualifying for the Women's World Cup, Mexico was hoping for a better performance.

On a final note for the week, sad to see the Chicago Red Stars absent from the WPS next season. With only six teams competing...how will the WPS go forward?
